The School of Music at the University of British Columbia

We recognize that sharing all sorts of music brings meaning, inspiration, and creativity to us and others. Our programs foster local and global musical citizenship through coursework, performance, personal mentoring. We prioritize a student-centred approach while building a school community that respects all musics—that of Indigenous and settler traditions, as well as the musical cultures that resonate with our diverse student body and the varied communities we belong to.

Undergraduate Programs

We offer four-year courses of study leading to the Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Arts in Music, and several dual degrees, majors, double majors, and minors.

Graduate Programs

Discover our master’s programs and doctoral degrees in three broad fields of specialization: performance, composition, and music scholarship.
